I am indexing a software book, and every one of the 15 chapters is written by a different author. Authors are listed in the TOC, and I wouldn't normally list...
I've been asked to index an 800 page French medical book (pharmaceutical.) I've had a look at the text, and know perfectly well this is beyond me. I don't ...
It seems you are trying to turn the index into a marketing tool ("buy me because of Jeff's contributions"); and it does lead to complications, even political...

In a scholarly book citations are important because the number of times other researchers refer to your work implies its importance, but for a non-scholarly...

... It's against the law (federal, I think, not dependent on state law) to send these things. They nearly stopped for me a few years ago, when that law was ...
I've had good luck with a TeleZapper (About $50). It's a hardware device that you insert in your incoming phone line. When a call comes in, it sends a singal...

Thank you to everyone who responded to my question. I followed Peter's suggestion and asked if the TOC can list both names for that chapter. The answer is no....
Does anyone know anything about Allume Systems or Stuffit? I received an .sit attachment from a publisher which I was unable to open. The message I received...
I used Stuffit to open a file from a major publisher. It worked fine. ~Judi Gibbs ... From: Greg Jewett To: indexersdiscussionlist@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
I have had this message come up quite often, that the site is not licensed, but if I am familiar with the company, I go ahead and download the program, and so...
After a little research, I discovered that Allume Systems was formerly Aladdin. I've either heard of or used Aladdin in the past, and combined with Judith's...
I think that is exactly what it is. I have tried to download items from Hewlitt Packard and have received this message!!! I almost wish there was a way to...
... Yes, for 15 or more years, Aladdin have provided Stuffit and other useful software for compressing and de compressing files. It might be new to the Windoze...

Actually, I think the message is a standard one. I see it quite often. If I know the source, I don't worry. I just download. I'd be more careful if I didn't...
Can anyone tell me what "lo" means in Italian? Actually, I just need to know whether it's an article, preposition, or what. Thanks! Cheers, Carol Roberts,...
Lo is an article. In Italian, nouns are either masculine or feminine. Nouns in Italian almost always use an article. If the noun begins with z or s plus a...
Thanks Charles and Candi. Hm, I think I also have a book title in here that starts with "gli." My practice is to ignore articles in sorting, regardless of what...
Thanks for providing the context, Carol. Remembering back to the Italian I learned 25 years ago - when a noun starts with certain consonants, like "str," the...
Lo can also be a pronoun--him, but when it's indirect, as in I have it to him, it is lui not lo. In the case of Lo stregozzo, it means "The" Charles...
Hi all, I just had something kind of comical happen to me. Every time I complete a book for an editor at the publishing house I do most of my work for, I...
